I found a fix, just do the following:

Start => Run
type cmd and enter
go to the cd drive that the RON CD is in (G:, D:, etc)
type setup /a

when you are installing, the install bar wont come up and it will look like you are frozen at the screen asking where you install, dont worry, it isn't frozen just wait.

If you still use this outdated and most of all no longer officially supported OS now, then you can't be helped. Razz

I have this working using a little bit of api faking. Runs fine once the game thinks you're on winxp :>

Just need to hook GetVersionExA/W and reply with xp as the version. I might release a simple loader, but it'd be better if one of the groups did it instead... seeing as it's very easy.

Ok, i've released it. Obviously i can't say where, because that would be against the rules... don't send PMs asking either.

Found it EvilGuy, thanks! Very Happy

@ minshi, it's a really popular source, one of the first places people look for cracks/trainers. It wasn't on there yesterday when EvilGuy posted probably because they were still updating, but it's there now.

It seems like they've removed all the fun gametypes like Cooperative Teams etc.. they are in all the data files and the scenario editor.. but they are not listed when creating a lan game Sad
